Officers block off streets near the Talleyrand area Friday during a death investigation.

An unidentified man is dead after he was gunned down Friday night on East 11th Street near Franklin Street, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Neighbors reported hearing about six gunshots just before 7:45 p.m., Lt. George Grant said.

“We responded along with the fire department and we found a white male in his 20s was deceased,” Grant said. “He was lying on the sidewalk. At this time we do not have any suspect information. Most of the people we talked to just heard the shots.”

Almost a dozen police cruisers blocked off East 11th Street between Phoenix Avenue and Franklin Street during the investigation.
